HE < FFICIAL O^GAN OF GRADY COUNTY. VOL 5 CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 19 1915. NO.41 Rev. Wynne Accepts Call. Here is logic that throws a different light On merchandising methods You will never build a business nor make the profits which are possible for you until vnu abandon aff haphazard hit aid'miss methods of advertiiing and got at it in a syste matic, persistent, business-like m ;uiod, mako an advertising appropriation and stick to it. If you had a bad day yester day and-your sales fell away below the normal average, you don,t say-that you’ll have to "discharge your best salesman until businoa picks up; you don’t say that you’ll cut down your rent and move fora day or two ton. sidestieet; you don’t say that you’ll save taxes and rush up to the city officials and ask them to lay off the police force and quit cleaning U P the streets until business pick® up. You wouldn't think of that, and yet that’s exactly whai you do with your advertising? Your advertising—if it is advertising worthy the name —is your best salssman and you don’t hesitate to lay it off indefinitely because business was bad yesterday. . Your advertising is a bigger factor in your business than your location—and you’ll move it down a back street or wipe your advertising location off the map because you re not feeling right this week. Mail Order Competition Can be Overcome The small citv as a community, is naturally handicap-' ped ty the greater volume ot free advertising which the large city naturally, inevitably and legitimately gets. The smaller city dealer is handicapped by that enchantment which distance lends to the view of the larger city—to say nothing of'he vigorous, persistent and highly efficient ad vertising of the mailorder houses. And there is but one way to overcome that handicapped condition, Boycott and black list won’t do it. You cannot get a law to doit. You CAN doit by letting the people of your trade territory, your natur al and legitimate trade, know what you have for them—the advantages you offer them—the service you can give them. You can do it one way and in only one way, and that by sys tematic, persistent, sane and judicious advertising. Our subscribers buy from our advertisers. Do you want their business? Service Department- of This Paper Our service department is in a position to systematize your advertising and prepare advertising copy that will pro- dune results. This service is free to both small and large advertisers. If you will give us the opportunity to combine our knowledge of our business with your knowledge of your business, we can produce big business for both of us. W. C.

Pearly Teeth Go through the European cities and you will find a great many signs “Dr. So-and-So. American Dentist.” They know over there that American dentists are the best and most skillful in the world— and they do say it is because the’American people have the worst teeth in the world.

Another use has been discover ed for the newspaper, beyond its intended mission of furnishing information and entertainment to the reading public. Some time ago it was noted that a newspaper made the best blan ket possible on a cold night, and now comes a New York scient ist who says n newspaper fresh from the press i^ great to cure a cold. “The fumes arising from the fresh printers ink penetrates the nostrils and . pass back through the nasal passage.” Ho said to open the paper wide and bury your head in it. It will save adoctor'3 fee in ,tnany a case.’’ When Deputy Sheriff John Knight of Grady county, ut- tempted last Thursday to„arreat 1 a negro by the name of Reese Howard at Mize’s mill four miles from Climax, a good deal of ex citement was set on. foot which has hot yet subsided. / The.negro Howard was charg-' ed with two.offenc'es, stealing a cross-cut saw and carrying con cealed weapons. Walking to ward the man to make the arrest Deputy Knight was struck to the ground with an axe before he had time to defend himself. The negro airned the blow square ly at the deputy’s .head and would surely have killed him had lie not dodged so that the blow fell on his shoulder. Seeing that the negro was going to charge him with the axe, the deputy made a desperate effort to draw his pistol, but it was not until the blow had descended that he man aged to extract it. Being par tially paralyzed by the impact of the blow, lie nevertheless man aged to fire shots, after the re treating Howard. Sheriff Martin was nastily sum moned over the telephone and in gro effected his escape. Officals however, both here and in other counties are keep ing a vigilant lookout for the ne gro against whom another war- riuU.assauUwithintutt er, hah. been sworn out, and they are confident that they will land him behind the bars Before many more days. Deputy Knight, though stun ned by the blow, is sufficiently recovered to be about his work at this time. Lest We Forget. Times like these, when nearly every nation is defending its flag and traditions, stir every pat riotic heart. While all Americ ans are rejoicing that their coun try is not being rent from the devastations of war, they do not forget the siruggie of-their fore fathers, who made it possible for this great republic’s existence, nor the debt they owe George Washington who led them. Had it not been for the efforts of Washington and his army doubt less every man in the United ■ States would now be trying to enlist for European battlefields.
